Kicking Off 2012 With Some Stockholm Soldiers

Location: Stockholm, Sweden

For my 21st birthday this year (yeah, because I said so!), I treated myself to a fun & friend-filled weekend in Stockholm. Sweden has always fascinated me – the food (read ‘meat balls’), the people (charming as you’d expect), and the design acumen that is very hard to miss here. Stockholm is clearly a classy city with a great attitude and amazing food. From walking through palaces, eating the Swedish version of the brownie and cinnamon buns, checking out the latest metrosexual trends, to partying the night away and slipping back to the hotel at 7am –  I would go back in a heartbeat.

What better way to share Stockholm with a glimpse of palace guards freeing up their shift and playing celebrities to tourists?
